Bummed...is anyone else finding it really tough to get a job in Australia right now? The job market can be tricky, and sometimes it feels like no matter what you try, it’s hard to get noticed. What’s one tip or strategy that actually helped you land a job? Share your tips, they might help others like me!

I'm almost 36 and have never had a 'career'. I've been a SAHM for nearly 13 years, working odd jobs here and there. Latest was 2 years in a café and I absolutely hated it. I have worked in child safety and have a half completed Cert IV, but hated that job too and never want to work in the industry again. I also hate studying and don't have 3-5 years to commit to something I have no passion for. So how do people know what they want to do and find a job they don't hate?

I'm trying to start my career I'm doing something I'm passionate about but I'm getting really disheartened because I don't think anyone wants me and I want to show everybody that I'm worth something I have lots of clearances and more I would like a job where I can help people and if you think I would be suitable I wouldn't mind talking to someone about this helping me get into position where I can help people

I need advice on how to build a good professional network and my current network isn't very helpful or active. How can I expand my network in other directions, so my connections are useful for referrals? Has anyone had a good experience with professional networking events and what were they?

Do I have to go to the work christmas party? I just… do not want to go. I have too much on and no time for fake socialising. What’s the etiquette here--how do I politely get out of going without seeming like the grinch?

Criminal history & employment - I (22f) made some pretty bad decisions over a year ago, that now reflect in a police check. DUI + offences relating to getting drunk and in a club fight. I chose to cope poorly with a time of crisis. However I am now doing incredibly better, I’m not a wild person typically and redirected my focus with healthy choices. 8 years of consistent work history + qualifications, great work ethic, usually a nice person. How would you approach this in an interview?

I'm tasked with writing the message for coworkers farewell card and I want to put as much ridiculous corporate jargon in as possible. I feel like ‘touch base’ and ‘circle back’ are normalised now I need some fresh 2025 phrases. Give me your worst!

Am I cooked? Dropped out of uni due to anxiety and personal issues, but I need a job to get out of my living situation (horrible roommates). What jobs can I do that don't require a degree or certificate or experience? I can move anywhere and will do basically anything to get on my feet. What are the best options for getting a job quickly?
